REAL Weddings! Yesenia & Gabriel

We are honored to share our couple’s special day in our special feature “Real Weddings”at Reception Palace.

Here is the story of Yesenia & Gabriel.

A story of real high school sweethearts!

10 years ago they met in homeroom science class during their senior year in high school. The first day of school Yesenia noticed a really cute guy leaning against the wall before class started. “He was unlike anyone I had ever seen in school” said Yesenia. Noticing, immediately, Gabriel did not have a Miami accent, Yesenia was very “interested”

Yesenia and Gabriel would spend hours on the phone, going out with friends and getting in trouble in class for talking too much. After some time Yesenia started to wonder “when will he kiss me?” It took a few months after their first meeting but when it happened Yesenia was overjoyed! Prom night is when they decided they would get married when they were 25. A testimony that dreams do come true.

“We have been together for almost 10 years. When we are not working, we spend most of our free time hanging out with our families, watching television series & movies, eating and cooking.” gushes the bride.

When it came to choosing the wedding venue it was simple. Yesenia’s family have been friends for 25 Years with everyone at Reception Palace. She practically grew up in reception palace and celebrated many important events there (6th Birthday, Parent’s baby shower, dad’s Birthday and Parents 25th anniversary) “I always knew the day I got married it would be there.” Yesenia said.

The bride shared with us that she wanted the colors to be simple, clean and chic. She wanted everything to be white and silver.
